Come on Zay! Agree 100%. We do seem to have people on here who didn’t like the pick and voiced their displeasure. Now these same people feel the need to root against Zay it appears, so it makes them look right. Very unhealthy thought process. I want every Bill to be successful because it will mean the team I love to cheer is successful. It’s that simple. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollars 2 donuts Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 (edited) Given our problems at WR during certain times last year it is crazy to think that as of right now we have 2 First round draft picks at the position, as well as a Second rounder who is coming around. After that lets throw in a much traveled veteran like Kerley who is just plain FORCING his way into first team playing time with how good his camp has been, and add a cherry on top named Streeter who was a camp darling last year before his injury and who, according to Sal, has made this team so far and you just have to start to really feel good about the position. Are they great? No, but damn if I am not encouraged. ...also, don't even get me started on what is a veteran, if not highly touted, offensive line. GO BILLS! EDIT: Jeepers, I didn't even mention Ray-Ray! Edited August 15, 2018 by dollars 2 donuts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wppete Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 We really need Zay to live up to his potential. Excited to see him in the games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lfod Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 I still feel the same. Zay definitely tripped coming out of the gate. It's nice to know that he is working his way back in. I never like to write any one off but it's not like he's on my radar as far as having expectations. I really don't know what to expect of him as far as contributing to the season. He is still on the team for a reason. Just can't help feeling he fell behind some and I am going to need to see him actually making plays before I get even a lil excited Zay Jones is a Bill.

Yeah, but he's a WR and they're all a little off. I think we need a WR/DB version of the Hot/Crazy Matrix Looking ultimately for something above an 8 talented and between 5 and 7 crazy.

SoTier Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 IIRC, Zay looked pretty good in preseason but couldn't catch a cold in the regular season, so I'm not jumping on his bandwagon until he starts producing when the games actually count.

C.Biscuit97 Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 I remember the same article about James Hardy! Jk, I like Zay. Still wanted JuJu but receiver is all about confidence. He lost it last year and I hope he can get it back. Might be a good chance of pace with no expectations this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is dialed in, we've got our number 2. And for all the headcase jokes, he isn't, I don't expect anyone to believe me, but he isn't. He's one of the finest human beings I know. Given how he was used in college, Daboll's offense seems to be a good fit too. I'm optimistic he will have a good year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree in general, but this was a one time thing, so to call him a headcase is a huge stretch based on very little other than a one time incident. He certainly struggled last year catchign the ball, but that doesn't in any way make him a head case either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starrymessenger Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 3 hours ago, YoloinOhio said: If he can play like he has in camp... it’s simply huge. They invested a 2nd round in him. They could have 2 1st rd picks and a 2nd rd pick out there at WR ... let’s see how they do with a new QB and offense. Might not be as bad as we think at WR. To me whether or not the Bills have a shot at fielding a decent and reasonably productive WR corps in 2018 depends much more on the condition of Kelvin Benjamin's knees than than on any other factor, more even than on who is taking snaps under centre. If he stays healthy in this his contract year he will not only have a 1000+ yard season but will open the door of opportunity for the other guys who make the roster. Important also not to lose sight of the impact of what looks to be a major upgrade at OC. If KB is good to go we could well see a significant improvement not only in the passing game but in the O overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troll Toll Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 3 hours ago, ddaryl said: a rookie season. Plenty of WR's struggle their rookie years even ones drafted higher than Zay....... The offseason thing I chalk up to be young dumb and full of cum. We all walked that walk at one time. Let bygones be bygones and see how he does in his sophomore year. I'm hopeful.. I think he learned some tough lessons and will be better for it myself I must have missed that video, I’ll volunteer to be the judge on the veracity of that claim.

I chalk up last year to his WR coach who was his his college coach and one who recommended Bills draft him. He used up what he knew in college and nothing new to teach him. Notice that none of the WRs said they would miss him or praised his work with them. Contrary to that is when Sanjay Lal players were gushing with praise.

Ditto! 5 hours ago, RoyBatty is alive said: I dont think Zay Jones will be a featured WR at all, what has he shown in the NFL to warrant that, nothing. How was his off season, borderline disaster. He was great in Tier II level college ball and was a high pick, ignoring that he is nothing special. I'm not on your Grass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
